Indeed the STMMAC driver doesn't take the vendor-specific compatible
string into account to parse the "snps,tso" boolean property. It just
makes sure the node is compatible with DW MAC 4.x, 5.x and DW xGMAC
IP-cores. Fix the conditional statement so the TSO-property would be
evaluated for the compatibles having the corresponding IP-core version.

While at it move the whole allOf-block from the tail of the binding file
to the head of it, as it's normally done in the most of the DT schemas.

Note this won't break the bindings description, since the "snps,tso"
property isn't parsed by the Allwinner SunX GMAC glue driver, but only
by the generic platform DT-parser.

But still should be valid for Allwinner?

BTW, I prefer that properties are defined unconditionally, and then 
restricted in conditional schemas (or ones that include this schema).

This does not have a fallback, so snps,tso is no longer validated. I 
didn't check the rest.

I don't know. It seems to me that even the original driver developer
didn't know what DW MAC IP has been used to create the Allwinner
EMAC, since in the cover letter to the original patch he said:
"During the development, it appeared that in fact the hardware was
a modified version of some dwmac." (See https://lwn.net/Articles/721459/)
Most likely Maxime Ripard also didn't know that when he was converting
the legacy bindings to the DT schema.

What I do know the TSO is supported by the driver only for IP-cores with
version higher than 4.00. (See the stmmac_probe_config_dt() method
implementation). Version is determined by checking whether the DT
device node compatible property having the "snps,dwmac-*" or
"snps,dwxgmac" strings. Allwinner EMAC nodes aren't defined with
those strings, so they won't have the TSO property parsed and set.

Are you saying that it's ok to have all the properties unconditionally
defined in some generic schema and then being un-defined (like redefined
to a false-schema) in a schema including (allOf-ing) it?

Until the DT node is having a compatible string with the DW MAC
IP-core version the property won't be checked by the driver anyway.
AFAICS noone really knows what IP was that. So most likely the
allwinner emacs have been added to this conditional schema by
mistake...
